Four longtime ovarian cancer advocates came together in October 2004 to form In My Sister’s Care - a national consumer organization dedicated to eliminating health disparities and to improving health status and gynecologic cancer care for women of color and other under served populations. To achieve organizational goals covered in our mission, In My Sister’s Care has seven primary areas of concentration, each with specific objectives.

In forming this organization, the founding members, who comprise the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, merged more than 20 years of personal cancer survivorship and advocacy experience. They also quadrupled the strength of their individual efforts to ensure that medically under served women are not alone in their difficult, often barrier-strewn medical journeys.

In partnership with In My Sister’s Care, women and their families

	find comfort
	benefit from a consistent, reliable source of information and referrals
	become empowered to access, maneuver within, and use the medical system and to assist others in doing so
	form health-sustaining alliances
	experience improved health process and outcomes
	draw on the collective strength of their Sisters-in-Care

With a founding focus on ovarian cancer and on African-American and other women from the African diaspora, In My Sister’s Care is dedicated to ensuring that other women, Sisters all, have improved care, and quality of life.

The organization has offices in New York and Washington, D.C
